No probs - was a long shot

Have you checked the boot for one of these?

lol that would explain hearing random techno music in my boot

Bad earth to from sensor to ecu. Also, check for codes, check the temp sensor & it's wiring too

Faulty sensors/bad earths will come up with different codes for each sensor yeah? just so it narrows it down

My xcal is coming up with no codes , will I need to go see ford ?

Bad earths wont show with scan tool.. youll need more than a xcal to check sensors. What is the coolant temp sensor reading when warm

Might not nessacarilly throw a code but check. It could just be noise in the connection causing issues

thanks everybody for their help and input , looks like it was a bad earth on the bank 2 cam angle sensor wiring , and to be safe we replaced the coolant temp sensor (massive pain in the ass) and all seems good so far cheers again guys

you called it bro thanks heaps

Glad I could help

also adding to me my problem it seems was a faulty VCT solenoid in bank 2 all sorted now though

Not too bad of a topic revival.

I'm having an issue with my BA that sounds very similar to yours. I'm 99% convinced it's a VCT problem and was just wondering what you did to test the solenoids? Just apply power when removed to check actuation? If so, can I remove them without disturbing the timing chain? Now I think about it that last one is really the main question since the job becomes a lot bigger at that point.

Just a quick background on my issue. The car has a small stumble during hot start, sort of flirts with stalling then pulls through. Cold start is fine. Idle is perfect hot or cold. Everything seems to work well but I had the car on the dyno today and at about 3000rpm it just stopped making power even though boost was steady and AFR's were where they needed to be. It was acutally impressive how flat the power "curve" was. Almost perfectly level. Seems to me that the VCT is doing exactly nothing but I'm open to other suggestions.

Cheers guys.
